FS UAE multi discs in zips?

[syztemlord]

Hi Guys,

 

I'm just setting us FS UAE and having some issues with multi disc games.  All my roms are in ipf format within zip files.  I can load multi disc games directly in the FS UAE launcher by selecting the zip via the "Multi Select" button and this loads all discs to drives.

 

But I was wondering if it is possible to do this automatically from LB?

I really suggest you check out @Zombeaver's tutorial on how to set up FS UAE I've never watched it but from what I understand its pretty thorough and it covers all of this.

Nah Zombeaver uses mostly WHDLoad installs not ipf disks.

You should be able to export the db config for the ipf regardless and run that as your rom.

Theres a fast way to duplicate the auto configs too if you get stuck.

Personally id just archive your ipf games and download a TOSEC WHDLoad  set or something.

Great, thanks for that. I'll take a look at it later.

I do primarily use (and recommend) WHDLoad format for a number of reasons, but I cover how to do multi-disk games in the tutorial video as well.

@syztemlord I'd encourage you to watch the video if you haven't. The thread for it is here. .ipf and .adf format are fine. They're typically recognized by the OAGD (OpenRetro) and should be pulled into your FS-UAE library automatically. If they're not, you can always add them into the swapper manually and create a config for them. Both of these are covered in the video, as well as how to import them into LB.
